A card game about arranging your hand. The cards come in four kinds — dance, tea, incense, and fans — plus the ominous oni and swords. The theme is drunkenness. You discard and draw to tune your hand, aiming for just the right level of tipsiness. When your hand is ready, you can declare "Miyabi!" and go out. But if another player answers with "Miyabi-gasane!", you take a heavy penalty. The mind game around declaring, and letting others declare, is the heat of it. Shedding your hand feels close to UNO or Daifugo.
